-are You Brave - Take the Leap -

* - 1 - Free verse I do not think I know so many brave people, really. Dare to face your fears .... not avoid it Fearless dare to tread into the unknown Fearless ... To be able to do something you're afraid of Go in a dark and unknown paths without street lights Small, unobtrusive step towards convincing that one can cope Realize that you have some 'skills' that it is time to put into practice Give joy to a face full tear and sadness Take the leap - Self-development which can be very demanding Approach is that we are down here on earth both to develop ourselves Also, to help with all the good things we have with us in our luggage from all our past lives Create your own life and not just survive The one who dares nothing .... wins nothing * - 2 - Ghazal *** This is written with good help from a very talented poet I do not think I know so many BRAVE PEOPLE, really. PEOPLE dare to face your fear not CAVE, really. Fearless PEOPLE WHO Dare to tread into the unknown BE fearless do something you're afraid of BRAVE, really. Go in a dark and unknown paths without street lights TAKING small, unobtrusive steps YOU can cope, ask GRAVE, really. Realize, you have some 'skills', it is time to put into practice Give joy to a face full tear and sadness, really. Take the leap - Self-development wooden can be very demanding we are down here on earth bother to Develop ourselves, really. Also, two help with all the good things we do in this journey Let GO OF THE luggage from all our past lives, really. Create your own life and not just survive The one who dares nothing .... wins nothing, really. 10.11.2013 A-L Andresen :)

He who dares wins. I'm like that. You killed it. Really a poem packed with alot uncirculated truths. Your a excellent writer you really know how to bring your thoughts alive in your words. And just to let u know a lady wrote half that poem you commented on. I can't take credit she was the force I was just the carrier

I love the first part. Its amazing and it drags me in. The second part confuses me, Im not sure I understand the poetry type. I should probably try to educate myself.

Anne Lise, Fine sentiments, but in our world for a term I dislike 'ordinary people', those who succeed are brave but those who fail are regarded as failures, sometimes even by themselves. Best wishes, Peter

Your right in this poem it does no good to hold onto the past let it go and move forward full steam ahead. Only hold onto the good memories and release the weight of the heavy loads burdens. Great write and thanks also for the comment on my empress of ireland and by the way more people lost their lives on this ship crash than the titanic even through she had more life boats and and it took place two years after the titanic also.

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself" - that is what your poem reminds me of. FDR's word's. Also, "not just survive". Peace & Love Matthew Anish
